"The sofa system Float is designed by Eero Koivisto and is characterized by comfort, flexibility, spaciousness and mobility. Float has a floating construction whose design is inspired by the Star Wars movies. Float consists of buildable modules that can be combined in different seating systems based on the need of the individual or the optimal design of the room. That Float looks like it is floating comes from a unique detail, barely noticeable due to the low base. By letting the sofa rest on a low cap of plate glass that reflects the base, an illusion that the sofa is lifting off the floor is created. It gives Float an airy impression despite its cubic and strict form. Eero Koivisto got the idea when he saw the vehicle Sandspeeder in a Star Wars movie and the technique of using plate glass to create the illusion that the vehicle was floating was described to him.\r\n\r\n\u201COne of my ideas is that furniture \u2019talk\u2019 to each other no matter what their different expression are. The new sofas have a subtle design in order to harmonize with other furniture with different styles of expression\u201D, says designer Eero Koivisto.\r\n\r\nFloat can be put together in different combinations or used as single modules (note that combinations sofas always need minimum one armrest).\r\n\r\nSeat and back in cold foam with flameproof fibre. Upholstered in removable fabric or fixed leather. Wooden frame with Nozag spring system. Chromed legs.\r\n\r\n\r\nFloat High\r\nEero Koivisto uses an architectural approach to create low-key furniture with a strong sense of presence \u2013 something that is very obvious in his new sofa, Float High. The design was prompted by his own needs, which involved a lot of travelling and many meetings in public settings.\r\n\r\n\u201CI noticed the same behaviour in everyone involved in business meetings. People lean forward in the very low seats, try to conceal their computer screen, and hold their hand around their mouth while talking on their mobile phone. I wondered whether I could create a piece of furniture that felt like it was a small, separate room. I started with Float, which I had previously designed for Offecct, and pulled up the edges just far enough so that when you sit up very straight you can see over the edge, but when you sit back you get a private and secluded space.\u201D\r\n\r\nKoivisto sees it as a challenge to alter the typology of something so archetypical as a rectangular sofa \u2013 the one piece of furniture that is perhaps the strongest interior decoration symbol of our times. How can we combine the parts so that something new emerges? The challenge consists in putting the form into a new context.\r\n\r\nSeat and back in cold foam with flameproof fibre. Fixed fabric upholstery. Wooden frame with Nozag spring system. Alternatively with laminated base for higher seating. Chromed legs.\r\n\r\n\r\nFloat soft\r\nThe sofa system Float is designed by Eero Koivisto and is characterized by comfort, flexibility, spaciousness and mobility. The series has been extended the new model Float Soft. Float Soft is a softer version of the already very comfortable Float. The sofa has also gotten sewn details around the edges, a detail which enhances the already elegant design. The back cushions have also been given a new shape in order to further lift the soft feeling.\r\n\r\nTECHNICAL INFORMATION\r\nSeat and back in cold foam with flameproof fiber. Removable upholstery in fabric or fixed upholstery in leather. Wooden frame with Nozag spring system. Legs in whitepigmented oak."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
